        It is that time of the year again, my favorite time for fashion and weather. It is officially Fall and even though the midwest was behind on this memo, we made it. Like seriously why was it 90 degrees days before the first day of Fall in Missouri?! It is now the time for oversized sweaters, leggings, boots, and scarves. Layering is ideal for Fall which means you can wear more of your favorite pieces at once. The color scheme for this time of year is absolutely beautiful and includes but isn't limited to, maroon, olive green, tan, navy,...

    I have always wanted to go to California but never thought it was going to happen. To be honest I still think it was a surreal moment and was a figment of my imagination. This was a fun trip that I took with my little sister for a girls trip. We kept asking each day, "do you believe we are here right now?".

    The Fourth of July is less than a week away?! I'm not sure where June went, but it seems like I blinked my eyes and it was over.  Does anyone else feel this way?

        The pattern that is making a comeback! The big trend for summer 2018 is gingham and I am here for it. I have been seeing this pattern across the internet from swimsuits to dresses to shoes. My sister (pictured above) found her high school graduation dress in this pattern and looked super adorable in it. I never thought I would want a piece of clothing with that pattern, but I was wrong. My family went out shopping for Mother's Day and I found myself a dress that I fell in love with. It was a t-shirt style dress,...

            I love dressing up, taking photos, and styling my younger sisters for photoshoots. So it is no surprise that this post is about one of our recent photoshoots. There has been a photo challenge going around the internet lately and I decided to take part in it. Basically you go into a craft store such as Hobby Lobby or Michaels and take photographs, this is mainly done in the floral section but photos can be taken anywhere throughout the store. Since it is now spring time my sister and I went into the section of each...
